Cameron Sutton: Stock – up

Sutton had a solid end to 2018 where he took over for an ailing Mike Hilton after his struggles toward the end of the season. He filled in fairly well and likely earned some confidence in him from the coaches.

Sutton has had a great camp and preseason and put a convincing end to it with four tackles, a pass breakup and an interception. The Steelers corner depth has been a weak point for a few years but with Sutton emerging and a solid starting group, the depth is trending in the right direction.

He is fighting for the fourth corner spot with Artie Burns and looks to be winning the battle. He will also serve as the primary backup to Hilton in the slot.
